Societe Generale CEO Fréderic Oudéa said: “We are continuing to steadily implement our refocusing programme, with the announcement this morning of the disposal of our SKB subsidiary in Slovenia.

“As a result of our determined actions, we saw a substantial increase in CET1 ratio in Q1 19, strengthening our ability to achieve the 12% CET1 ratio target as soon as possible.

“Our solid results are also based on good risk management and the controlled development of our costs, which will continue with the new cost-saving measures that we have recently introduced.”
